The entertainment world is in mourning following the heartbreaking news that television presenter Claire Sweeney has tragically lost her newborn baby.
The actress and former partner of boxing icon Ricky Hatton is said to be utterly devastated by the loss. A source close to the situation confirmed the unimaginably difficult time for the new mother.
Ricky Hatton, who dated Sweeney in 2023, has been made aware of the tragedy. The former world champion boxer is understood to be offering his support during this period of immense grief, despite the couple's separation earlier this year.
The news has sent shockwaves through their circles, with friends and colleagues rallying around the Brookside and Coronation Street star. Sweeney, who is also a renowned theatre actress and a regular panellist on Loose Women, had kept her pregnancy largely out of the public eye.
This devastating event highlights the fragility of life and has prompted an outpouring of sympathy from fans across the nation. The specific circumstances surrounding the baby's passing remain private, with those close to the family requesting respect for their privacy during this profoundly difficult time.
